Hi everyone, I am looking for information about DI, how often it occurs, does it affect certain age groups or certain ethic groups more so than others.
Your best bet is the Diabetes Insipidus Foundation website.
As far as ethnicity goes, my understanding is that there’s no difference.
Given it’s a problem which requires either the supply of an expensive drug, or large quanitites of clean drinking water though, I should imagine that those cultures/countries which have little access to either, surviving it would be a challenge.

Hi - I have Central DI and it is the result of a massive head injury that
occurred 13 years ago. There are 4 types of DI and it can occur for
different reasons at different ages. See
